The intensity value between brackets is proportional to the most intense peak in the spectrum. The calculated frequencies in the last four columns concern 15,15′-cis spheroidene and 13,14-cis spheroidene.

*

Due to the proximity of transitions, a single experimental peak is found for which assignments of maxima and shoulders are tentative or even impossible. The widths (FWHM) are: 10-2H 16 cm−1, 10-13C 18 cm−1, 12-2H 17 cm−1, 14′-2H 14 cm−1, 14′-13C 20 cm−1, 10,12-2H2 18 cm−1, and 12,14-2H2 18 cm−1.
